What should you pay attention to during the confinement period?

The short confinement period is what we usually call the month of confinement, which means that the mother cannot do any physical labor for one month after giving birth, because people believe that the woman's body will be very weak after giving birth. She cannot touch water or work for fear of leaving some sequelae. Next, let’s take a look at what mothers should pay attention to during the confinement period. Please see the information.

1. Pay attention to proper rest after the operation. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Because after the artificial pregnancy operation, the endometrium is left with a wound, if you move too early, it may prolong the vaginal bleeding time. Generally, you should avoid physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.

2. Increase nutrition appropriately, because the operation will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause certain damage to the body, so you should promptly supplement with some foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products.

3. Observe the bleeding. During the unexpected pregnancy surgery, after the placenta is separated, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, and is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should consider the possibility of infection or the presence of residues in the uterus, and seek medical treatment in time.

4. Adhere to good contraception. After the surgery for unexpected pregnancy, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about 1 month, and then menstruation will come. Therefore, as long as you resume your sexual life after artificial pregnancy surgery, you should further strengthen contraceptive measures and use appropriate contraceptive methods or sterilization measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent pregnancy again.

The above are some things that mothers should pay attention to during the confinement period. During the confinement period, the mother should not be allowed to overwork, and should be guaranteed to have adequate sleep and nutrition. She should pay attention to personal hygiene and should not take a bath in a tub, as it is easy to be infected with the virus.
